Tensions arose in the NBA world after Kyrie Irving’s recent antics. Notably, the Brooklyn Nets star shared a controversial documentary on his social media. His move was deemed to be antisemitic. Likewise, KAI had to face serious repercussions for his actions. His franchise, the Brooklyn Nets stood on opposing ends. Irving had to fulfill a series of steps before his return back on the NBA floor. However, his actions received mixed reactions from the masses. Many believed Irving had to face much more than he deserved. And UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya might be riding in the same boat.

Adesanya is one of the biggest fighters in the UFC. The ‘Last Stylebender’ was once the supreme king of the middleweights. Throughout his fighting career, the 33-year-old has lost just two times. During his most dominant stretch, no fighter was able to overthrow Adesanya as the top dog. One of the most formidable strikers in the fighting business, the former middleweight champion isn’t afraid to speak his mind.

His transparency shone during some of his post-fight speeches. Moreover, the middleweight sensation was also a major advocate during the Black Lives Matter movement. Likewise, going on a Twitter rant, Adesanya took a shot at the recent Kyrie Irving saga which caused tension among NBA fans.

Moreover, he doesn’t align himself with all the beliefs and conspiracies shared in the documentary. However, despite making his stance clear, the former All-Star had to face regulations for someone having anti-semitic beliefs.
